Researchers from the anti-virus vendor BitDefender have come across an innovative piece of malware that hides itself and functions as a Firefox extension. The malicious add-on is a trojan that monitors user activity on numerous banking sites and steals the login credentials.

In order to fly under the radar, this trojan, identified by BitDefender as Trojan.PWS.ChromeInject, registers itself to the browser as “Greasemonkey.” Greasemonkey is actually the name of an advanced and legit Firefox extension that allows users to modify the appearance and rendering of visited web pages, through local JavaScript files.

A new XML based heap corruption exploit has been published on milwOrm, the exploit affects all versions of IE, tested for IE 6.x, IE 7.x, XP SP2, XP SP3 and Vista which endangers your safety if you use Internet Exploiter for browsing.

Previously posted a topic asking for help on Arabteam2000 forums on some corrupted hard drive partition that went crazy on me and started displaying nonsense for file names and folders in it but got no response.
